Verse 9

1 Samuel 6:9

Young's Literal Translation

9 and ye have seen, if the way of its own border it goeth up to Beth-Shemesh -- He hath done to us this great evil; and if not, then we have known that His hand hath not come against us; an accident it hath been to us.'

English Translation
And you will see if the way of his border will ascend to Beth Shemesh; he is the one who has done this great evil to us, and if not, we will know that it is not his hand that touched us; it was a coincidence that happened to us.
